90s Video Game

Sonic the hedgehog was first launched  in 1991 on the genesis (mega drive), and quickly became Sega's No.1 game. The 2020 movie starring James Marsden and Jim Carrey, helped to reignite the popularity of the video game character.
In the original 16 bit game from the 1990s, Sonic must battle with a mad and evil scientists called Doctot Eggman. The fast-paced platformer became hugely successful, and Sonic quickly became Sega's flagship character, helping them to compete with Nintendo's Mario, who became their flagship character during the 1980s.
The game became notable for its vertical, rollercoaster style loops, frantic pace and sonic's ball rolling, and became synonymous with 90s culture.
